NASA’s October 6 space-station log records Anil Menon wearing a sensor vest and headband to measure his heart and breathing rates while pedalling the exercise cycle in the International Space Station’s Destiny laboratory.
This session differs from the vein and blood work recorded on September 28. In that earlier NASA account, Jessica Meir scanned Menon’s jugular vein and measured his blood pressure, while Menon analysed a processed blood sample for a red blood cell count.
Menon, a NASA flight engineer, is an emergency-medicine physician born and raised in Minneapolis to Ukrainian and Indian immigrants, according to the agency’s biography and station account.
The October 6 log records the exercise measurement activity without publishing heart-rate or breathing-rate values. It gives no clinical finding from the session.
